1. I think that's unfair...
we only nationalized the debt half, the profits are still safely in the hands of the private sector...

2. Isn't this sort of what Ceaucescu's Romania did?
Plundered public funds to appease the country's wealthy and Big Business? Only the USA is openly stealing from the taxpayer in this case? "Voluntary Compliance", anyone?

5. Here is the difference: Thugs take the companies, our Government buys the companies.
